8. Deliverables

9. Orientation Paper (Draft)
Identifying problems and challanges
Broad topic (numerous priority areas) – limitating of scope – 4 focal points
Governance (horizontal topic – incl. Planning)
Innovative solutions and smart mobility
Public transport for the city/region and multi-modality
Active modes of transport (walking, cycling) and the use of public space
Challanges in relation to the focal points are described in greater detail in the OP. During the 2nd Partnership meeting we would like to identify these challanges (incl. best practices + what works/doesn´t work) in greater detail.

10. Some interesting findings from the OP
Cycling is still not perceived as a serious fully-fledged transport mode equal to other modes.
Innovation moves very quickly whilst regulation does not keep up with the same pace.
An overview, or „platform-of platform“ is seen as being especially necessary with regard to innovative mobility solutions and smart mobility. Businesses are not always aware of existing platforms.
In the new world of multimodal transport, distinctions between transport modes and public and private transport are increasingly becoming blurred.
Need to connect planning at different levels to ensure overall coherent planning at EU/member state/regional and local levels.
